Pursuing a PhD in Law, Criminology, or Criminal Justice enables you to specialize in a particular legal field while receiving top-tier research training that prepares you for future research endeavors. As a doctoral student, you'll conduct original research with guidance from two supervisors, culminating in a thesis of around 100,000 words. Initially, you'll be registered as a provisional PhD candidate for twelve months (or eighteen if part-time), during which you'll refine your research proposal and compile a literature review. This preliminary work is evaluated by a panel of examiners who offer feedback and guidance on your research direction—a process known as 'transfer,' which ensures your project has the depth and feasibility for doctoral-level study.
Founded in 1987, the Centre for Criminal Justice conducts research on criminal justice systems and criminological topics. Our work has gained global recognition, particularly in policing, crime prevention, victim studies, youth justice, cybercrime, and offender supervision.
